Most Sundays we go for a walk on the farm. Last Sunday the weather was so beautiful and we enjoyed a beautiful walk along the tree line. The kids with the help of their cousins have built forts in these old trees. There is a B O Y fort and of course one for the G I R L S.

A P R I L has been a busy month. e a s t e r AND t w o special b i r t h d a y s it is the cutest thing in the world to hear the pitter patter of little feet coming toward me and to look up and see my baby, my little man, walking around the house, truly enjoying the freedom of his new accomplishment. what is it that is so adorable about a little person when they are learning to walk? could it be that is is one of those milestones that immediately changes the way that you look at your child, like watching them with new eyes, experiencing true joy as they grow and become a little stronger a little smarter . . . . . a little more independent? i once heard a quote that i can't remember perfectly but it went something like this, " You know you've succeeded as a parent when your children don't need you anymore."

I remember feeling so honored, so very lucky as I held him for the first time and those deep penetrating eyes looked up at me, looking into my heart and soul. I cherish those first moments when it was as if my sweet child so innocent, so pure was thanking me for a "pleasant trip," his eyes truly seemed to say "I'm home, this isn't so bad!"

S U N D AY was a wonderful day. It started with the warm sunshine beating down in my sunny, country yellow kitchen. As the kids slowly woke up one by one i watched them open their easter baskets that were lovingly placed at the foot of their beds. w i l l , e t h a n and s e t h , then m a d d i , and last of all e m m a It was nice to have time with each of them and to watch them enjoy their little treasures Then we watched General Conference, which was such a spiritual F E A S T.

There was such a special feeling in our home as we dressed in our best and gathered together to be taught and to feel the spirit. After lunch we went outside to take a few pictures (I'll post) , then we had a delicious meal that Grama Sharon and Grampa Dave and Great Aunt Carol came to enjoy with us. here are a few pictures of our special day:
